What Are The Benefits Of Outsourced Human Resources Support?
Outsourced HR support offers several distinct benefits for small businesses like yours, some of which include the following:
• Cost Efficiency
Maintaining a dedicated HR department or manager is an expense many small businesses can neither justify nor afford. Outsourced HR support provides exactly the same functions for a fraction of the cost.
• Access To Specialist Expertise
Outsourced HR support allows your business to access the very best HR consultants who have exceptional knowledge in key areas, such as the following:
- Recruitment
- Retention
- Compensation
- Benefits
- Employee relations
- People management
- Contractual arrangements
- Employment law
- Disciplinary processes
- Redundancy procedures
- Dismissals
• Improved Efficiency
Outsourced HR support frees up your management team to concentrate on doing what they do best – focussing on the continued success and growth of your commercial operations.
• Legal Compliance
The employment law landscape is ever-evolving, and understandably, few business owners possess the expertise and understanding required to ensure their organisations comply fully with it.
Just some of your legal obligations as an employer include the following:
- You must not allow prejudice to affect your decisions when recruiting a team member
- You must provide a written statement of an employee’s terms and conditions of employment
- You must adhere to the legal requirements governing working hours and leave
- You must pay your employees the minimum wage
- You must comply with the legal minimum requirements relating to notice periods
- You must ensure that any redundancy procedures are fair
- You must not discriminate unlawfully
- You must pay statutory sick pay
- You must take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace
The above is a mere snapshot of your legal duties as an employer, and ensuring your compliance with them all can be time-consuming and overwhelming. Outsourced HR support takes care of as much or as little of this as you require, freeing up your time to concentrate on your commercial operations and giving you peace of mind that your business complies with all applicable employment laws.
• Effective Contracts
Ensuring key contracts, such as employment contracts and staff handbooks, are legally effective and properly protect your position is crucial. Outsourced HR support from experienced consultants like those at GAP HR will ensure that all your contractual documentation is clear and watertight and protects you against employment tribunal claims.
• Improved Employee Relations
Employees who feel valued work harder, so investing in measures that boost morale, improve communication, and recognise and reward talent can provide immeasurable benefits for your business.
Outsourced HR support can identify the steps your business can take to improve employee relations within the confines of your structure and budget and assist you in implementing them.
• Reduced Administrative Burden
Outsourced HR support can reduce the administrative burden of routine tasks like payroll and benefits. Our human resource consultants will also ensure all relevant documentation, such as contracts and meeting notes, are effectively recorded and retained for future reference.
